Atlanta (AP) – Fight! Fight! Fight!
It is no longer just a mantra of Donald Trump. As the Republican president prompts states to redirect their congress regions in favor of GOP, the Democrats have shown that they are ready to exceed the words of outrage and use whatever force they have to gain.
Democrats in the Texas Legislative Body have started it, so far delayed republican efforts to expand the GOP majority in the state delegation and support the preservation of party control over the US Chamber through new areas in time for the 2026 intermediate elections.
At the time, many democratic governors promised new regions in their own countries to neutralize the potential Republican profits in Washington. Their counter was overwhelmed by national fundraising, media twins and public demonstrations, including rallies scheduled throughout the country on Saturday.
“For everyone who is asking themselves,” Where are the Democrats? ” “
There is no guarantee that Democrats can prevent the redistribution of Republicans, just like the Democrats of the Capitol Hill have failed to stop Trump’s moves. But this is a remarkable turn for a party that, according to the confessions of its own leaders, has honored conventional rules and surrounded naked tactics.
So far, the progressive and establishing Democrats have been aligned, combining what is often fragmented opposition, as Republicans led by Trump took control of the federal government with their elections in November. The leaders on the left say that the approach gives them a more efficient way to face it. They can challenge its redistributive bet with tangible moves, as they are also repelled against the Tax Act and the costs of Republicans and are pressing the case that it is breaking down American democracy.
“We apply to the Democrats, where they have power and local power to bend this power,” says Maurice Mitchell, who leads the party of work families in the left flank of mainstream American politics. “This has been talking about fighters and to a large extent performative actions to suggest that they are in the fight.”
This time, he said, the Democrats “take on real risks to protect all our rights” against an “authoritarian president who only understands the fight.”
Pairing a fiery talk with action
Texas made sense for Republicans as a place to start redistribution. They dominate the State House, and governor Greg Abbot is Trump’s loyalist.
But when the president’s allies announced a new political card designed to send five more Republicans to the US House, state democratic representatives fled Texas, denying GOP numbers to do business in the legislature and approve of redesigned areas.
These legislators appeared in Illinois, New York, California and elsewhere, annexed by governors, senators, chairmen of state parties, legislators and activists of other countries. All promised actions. The answer was Trump.
Governments. Gavin Newsom from California, J. Pritzker made fun of Abbot as a lackey, who says “yes, sir” to Trump’s orders. Hochul rejected the Republicans in Texas as “cowboys for violation of law”. The Newsom Press Center has turned publications on social media in Trump, imitating his signature: “Thank you for your attention to this question.”
American representative Al Green, another Texas Democrat who could lose his place called Trump “Egoman”. Still, many Democrats also claimed a morally high place, comparing their cause to the civil rights movement.
State representative Ramon Romero, Jr., referred to another Democrat in Texas, President Lyndon Johnson, who was “ready to stand up and fight” for civil rights laws in the 60s. Then, with Texas Bravado, Romero reached for the story: “We ask for help, perhaps just as they returned to Alamo’s days.”
“Whatever is needed”
A recent poll for research on public affairs of Associated Press-Norc found that about 15% of Democrats’s own voters describe the party using words such as “weak” or “apathetic”. An additional 10% called it “ineffective” or “unorganized”.
Beto O’Rurk, a former Texas congressman who raises money to support the Texas Democrats, encouraged state houses governed by Democrats to redirect areas now, instead of waiting for GOP countries. On Friday, the California Democrats launched a plan that will give the party an additional five seats in the United States. This will require the approval of election voters in November.
“Maximize the advantage of the Democratic Party,” O’Rurk said at a recent rally. “You can say,” Well, that’s not the rules. ” There are no reflexes in this game.
The chairman of the Democratic National Committee Ken Martin acknowledged the change.
“This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather, who would bring a pencil in a knife,” he said.
Andrew O’Neal, CEO of the Progressive Group, indivisible, contrasts this answer with record speeches from US Senator Corey Booker, DN.J. And the democratic leader of the American House, the New York reporter Hakem Jeffrries, to discard Trump and his package of tax relief and cost cuts. The left “had his hair on fire”, cheerful these moments, O’Neal recalled, but was “left even more striped afterwards.”
Trump still has a reduction in taxes for wealthy, accelerated deportations and reduced safety programs, just like some of his contradictory candidates have been confirmed by vocal democratic opposition.
“Now,” O’Neal said, “there is some marriage of rhetoric that we have seen after Trump’s inauguration with some actual actions.”
O’Neal looked back at the Democrats’ decision in the Senate not to eliminate the Philibuster “When our country had a triple”, so a simple majority could adopt great legislation. Democrats’ President Joe Biden, Merick Garland, said, was too timid in Trump’s pursuit and the best associates over Capitol’s rebellion.
In 2016, President of Democratic Barack Obama gave up Hardball for Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky declined to examine Obama’s nomination from Garland in the Supreme Court.
“These unspoken rules of relevance, especially from the democratic side, have created the conditions that they allowed Trump,” Mitchell said.
Fighting all fronts
Even with redistribution, Democrats will have to ignore their previous efforts for a good government and bypass independent committees that attract borders in several states, including California.
Party leaders and activists rationalize that the wider fights bind the fights of parts, which in themselves may not swing.
Runing that Trump is reducing democracy, he moves people who are already supporting the Democrats, O’Neal said. In contrast, he said, GoP Grab Power may be related to unpopular policies that affect the life of voters.
Green noted that Trump’s big bill has cleared the Senate with one voice and the House of several, demonstrating why he redistributes questions.
US representative Greg Casar of Texas said that Democrats must make restless, short-term games of power so that they can later adopt legislation that “prohibits Gerimanji across the country … forbids super PACS (political action committees) and get rid of this kind of big money and special interest rates.” US representative Lloyd Dodj, D-Texas, added that the democratic majority would have a summons for a summons of Trump’s administration.
Meanwhile, said US representative Julie Johnson, D-Texas, voters are catching a bright reality.
“They say,” Well, I don’t know. Politics doesn’t affect me, “she told the voters she meets. “I say,” Honey, this is, “If you don’t make a policy, the policy will make you.”
